What is success? 成功是什么?
To laugh often and love much; 笑口常开,爱心永在,
To win the respect of intelligent people 赢得智者的尊重,
And the affection of children; 孩子们的爱戴;
To earn the approbation of honest critics 博得真诚的认可,
And endure the betrayal of false friends; 容忍损友的背叛;
To appreciate beauty; 欣赏美好的东西,
To find the best in others; 发现别人的可爱。
To give ones self; 学会无私地奉献,
To leave the world a little better, 给世界增添光彩:
Whether by a healthy child, 要么培育出健康的孩子,
A garden patch, 要么留下花园一块,
Or a redeemed social condition; 亦或是改善社会条件;
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm 尽情娱乐、笑得畅快,
And sung with exultation; 把欢乐的歌唱起来;
To know even one life has breathed easier, 甚至知道一个生命活得自在,
Because you have lived… 因为你的一路走来
This is to have succeeded. 这就是成功的内涵。
